When one of helium’s electrons is removed, the resulting species is the helium ion, He+ The He+ ion contains only one electron and is therefore a “hydrogen-like ion.” Calculate the wavelengths, in increasing order, of the first four transitions in the Balmer series of the He+ ion. Compare these wavelengths with the same transitions in an H atom. Comment on the differences. (The Rydberg constant for He is 4.39 × 107m−1.)
